Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice the French baguette diagonally into 1-inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices on the prepared baking sheet with some space between each piece.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined.
Add the olive oil to the mixture to create a slightly spreadable consistency. Mix thoroughly.
Using a butter knife or spatula, spread a generous amount of the garlic herb butter onto one side of each bread slice.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are golden brown and crispy.
Optional: For an extra crispy texture and golden top, broil the bread on high for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
